The Weeds Of An Unkept Garden

The weeds of an unkept garden grown rank after Spring showers
Eventually stifle the beautiful flowers
No different to the human mind corrupted by greed
Where compassion and  empathy to bloom fail to succeed
Like the weeds that outgrow the flowers and starve them of the light of day
The unenlightened mind too does  go into decay
Lust for power through greed for success and money on the  higher self takes toll
Love  and kindness is what suffers most on an ego out of control
The  will to succeed in the aspirational cannot be  denied
The less aggressive  always seem to lose out in the social divide
The have nots are many and  those with the majority of the wealth few
 I am not saying here anything that is new
To be  financially struggling in life is  a cross for to bear
And those in such a  position sad to say are not rare.
